Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 784: The Clouds of Jiejiao Move, the Demonic Tiger in the Capital

When the disciples of Jiejiao who saw the signal rushed over, an incense stick of time had passed - this barren hill of neither high nor low, the military camp stationed here, the eighty sets of armor, and the main roads that extended in all directions had all been reduced to ruins by the violent Zhao Gongming.

The first thing that caught the eyes of these Jiejiao disciples who rushed over was Zhao Gongming, wearing his inner clothes and sitting in front of a Tuolong chariot.

His aura was unstable, and his hands and torso appeared to be injured, and he looked extremely miserable.

In the past, seeing Zhao Gongming's attitude, most of the casual Jiejiao disciples would make fun of him.

But at this moment, seeing the murderous aura on Zhao Gongming, none of the Jiejiao disciples who had gathered together dared to say much. Instead, they all put away their previous casual attitudes and sat down in front of Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming did not say much, but continued to sit there, waiting for the disciples of Jiejiao to gather while regulating his own vitality.

The golden whip was lying across his knees.

In this way, another half an hour passed before all the disciples of the Jiejiao who saw the signal arrived here.

"Brother Gongming, why do you need to summon me so urgently? What happened?" At this time, a disciple who was very familiar with Zhao Gongming mustered up the courage to ask.

"They're all here." Zhao Gongming raised his eyes, "I thought some of my fellow apprentices would not dare to come see me."

"Since we're here, let's all come forward and take a look." Zhao Gongming stood up and pulled open the Tuolong carriage beside him.

"That's what you said, senior brother." A Taoist smiled, then stepped forward and set his eyes on the Tuolong chariot.

In an instant, the Taoist's gaze froze.

Then, the other Taoists also did the same - so, every Taoist, no matter what they looked like or what they were wearing, was stunned at this moment.

Some soft-hearted female nuns couldn't help but shed tears.

During this process, Zhao Gongming carefully looked at each Taoist, watching their expressions change and their moods change.

"Who committed such an evil thing?" After the sad silence, someone finally spoke.

"Before that, I, as a law enforcement officer of the Jie Sect, would like to ask you a question. You have witnessed such evil deeds. Are any of my disciples involved in it?"

"If you can take the initiative to stand up, I may, for the sake of our friendship, let you end the matter quickly."

"But if you did it but don't admit it, and I find out, don't blame me for not considering the friendship between fellow disciples."

Zhao Gongming looked at everyone, his eyes full of scrutiny and questioning.

When Ao Bing first said that the disciples of Jiejiao might be involved, Zhao Gongming was dismissive of these words - but at this time, Zhao Gongming already believed these words without a doubt.

Unlike other saintly sects, the integration of Jie Religion and humanity is quite close. Even if those Jie Religion disciples have never stepped into the lowest level of the human world, they have stayed in the human world for a long time and dealt with those nobles and princes in the human world. Therefore, the Jie Religion disciples who have entered the world will definitely know the human world's soul system.

Zhao Gongming didn't believe that after knowing the soul system, the disciples of Jiejiao, who were curious about everything, would not explore the source of those countless souls!
At this moment, Zhao Gongming even thought of the disciples of the Jiejiao who had died over the years.

Among those disciples of the Jiejiao who died outside, is it possible that some of them were implicated and silenced because of this matter of souls?

Hearing Zhao Gongming's questioning, some of the Jiejiao disciples present had already stepped forward, wanting to ask Zhao Gongming why he looked at his fellow disciples in this way?

However, before these people took a step forward, they had already sensed the strange atmosphere here.

"Someone is really involved."

"Okay!" Seeing the Jiejiao disciples in front of him were all silent, Zhao Gongming spoke again, "Since you all don't want to admit it, then just follow me and go to the White Tiger Sect."

"I believe that the people of the White Tiger Sect will have to give some explanation in order to continue their lineage."

"I want to see which junior brother's name I can find in the White Tiger Sect!"

"Senior Brother Zhao, it shouldn't be like this." At this time, a voice finally sounded from the crowd.

——The voice of the Winged Fairy.

This is one of the most unruly disciples of Jiejiao, and he has always had the habit of cannibalism.

"Brother, even the head saint master doesn't care about how we practice. Does Brother Zhao have to care?"

"Just the offspring of a bunch of slaves."

"Even if they were from the princes' countries, I have eaten countless of them - those princes never complained to me."

"Brother Zhao, are you going to make things difficult for me because of the offspring of these slaves?" The Winged Immortal said with contempt.

——"If this matter is really investigated, I really don't know whether you, who wiped out the human warriors, are more responsible, or the human cultivators who fabricated this matter are more responsible."

As soon as the Winged Immortal finished his words, a Dinghai Pearl was pressed down towards him, blocking his surroundings and making it impossible for the Winged Immortal, who had achieved enlightenment from the Great Peng, to use his extreme speed.

"What methods you practice with, my fellow disciples, naturally has nothing to do with me, Zhao Gongming. Jiejiao has never been involved in such matters."

"Just like you, Junior Brother Yuyixian, who eats people, the other Junior Brothers of Jiejiao will not blame you for it."

"But is this just a matter for the slaves?"

“Look at these babies!”

"Their souls were taken away alive and used as consumables."

"There were signs of their flesh being eaten."

“Is this a matter of practice?”

“This is torture!”

"When have I ever taught you to abuse infants and children?"

"Or, Junior Brother Yuyixian, before you cannibalize humans to cultivate, you must also torture the people you eat like this?"

"How many people have I eaten? How many are there in the tens of thousands?" Yuyixian stiffened his neck, but his attitude was a little relaxed. "I don't have the time to prepare these."

Cannibalism, he admitted.

It was well known that he was not a human being and did not take human life seriously - but as Zhao Gongming said, cannibalism was one thing, and preparing this was another.

The former is just practice, just a means.

The latter is simply a matter of mind.

"Junior brother, what you mean is that you have nothing to do with this matter?" Zhao Gongming's eyes fell.

And the Winged Fairy also acted like an extremely bachelor.

"Junior brother, I know about this, but I just don't bother to pay attention to it."

"If you think that, if you don't bother to care, you are complicit with them, and I, your junior brother, will never admit it."

"In that case, I'll trouble you, Junior Brother, to go to Jin'ao Island and invite Senior Sister Jinling and Senior Brother Duobao to come to the human world." The Dinghai Divine Pearl that was suppressing the Winged Immortal also fell back into Zhao Gongming's hands.

"Any other junior brother have anything to say?"

"If not, then follow me to the White Tiger Dao Sect and wait for Senior Sister Jin Ling and Senior Brother Duo Bao to come to you."

Zhao Gongming looked around and saw that still no one stood up, so he called Yuyixian forward and gave him instructions one by one.

He was not worried that Yuyixian was deceiving him, nor was he worried that Yuyixian would escape without a trace - after all, they were from the Shangqing lineage and were disciples of the saint. Yuyixian would never be able to bear the consequences of escaping.

……

"As expected of Fellow Daoist Gongming, when it comes to making a decision, he does not hesitate at all." Ao Bing couldn't help but sigh as he watched the clouds of many Jiejiao disciples merge together and head towards Baihu Dao Sect.

Frankly speaking, the display Zhao Gongming put forth was beyond Ao Bing's expectations.

But at the same time, this is also the safest and least flawed method, and it is also the most beneficial to Ao Bing's actions.

From this moment on, the eyes of heaven and earth will be focused on Zhao Gongming.

The army of the Hufang Kingdom will certainly move for this, including the Hufang monarch and his ministers in the Hufang Royal City. Their eyes will also fall on Zhao Gongming, waiting to see the outcome of Zhao Gongming's trip to the White Tiger Dao Sect.

At the same time, this is also the time when the defenses within the Tiger Kingdom’s capital are the most lax.

Because Zhao Gongming's final decision to go to the White Tiger Taoist Sect was a natural thing in the eyes of everyone who knew the cause and effect - blaming the incident on the White Tiger Taoist Sect was the best way to resolve the matter.

As for the princes of Hufang State, even if they were involved, it would be difficult for Zhao Gongming and others to take action against the monarch and ministers of Hufang State.

Therefore, at this time, no one noticed that Qinglong's whereabouts had disappeared. He had silently stepped into the capital of the Tiger Kingdom.

Because the attention was not here, the defenses in the Tiger Kingdom's capital seemed quite lax.

Even the practitioners who originally stayed here have already left the Tiger Kingdom Capital and rushed towards the White Tiger Taoist Sect, wanting to see how this drama would end.

At the same time, those practitioners involved in this matter also hid in the Tiger Kingdom’s capital.

Above the royal capital - that is, inside the royal palace, there is a huge statue with a tiger's head and a human body.

Countless ghosts travel back and forth between these statues, just like a ferocious tiger that has become a demon and is controlling countless ghosts.

No, not an elephant.

That's it!

The statue with a tiger head and a human body was made from the shell of a tiger demon god.

The demon god's soul was still wailing inside the statue.

With the power of this demon god, many souls that should have returned to the underworld were intercepted and turned into minions of this demon god.

Therefore, the ones who disturb life and death and intercept souls are no longer the immortal gods who use souls and treat them as consumables, but this tiger demon god.

Even if someone really came to investigate, the countless souls from living people would be affected by the statue and turned into ghosts in an instant.

As for the origin and destination of those souls, it is the grudge between the tiger demon god and the human race, and has nothing to do with the underworld.

This arrangement is exquisite!

The royal capital was extremely prosperous.

The changes in the cultivation world have never had any impact on the lives of ordinary people.

Many nobles and aristocratic families were still riding their horses and carriages in the royal city, feeling extremely happy.

The matter of those many babies did not cause any waves in the royal capital. When some noble children in the city talked about it, they just felt regretful and thought that the disciples of Jiejiao were too domineering and forcibly robbed them of their wealth.

At the same time, arrangements are being made to prepare other 'goods'.

Of course, during this process, there were also other noble children who used this matter to question their parents and relatives - however, under the current situation, their voices were almost invisible.

With all these arrangements and intricacies, it would be difficult to sort out all the sins and evils, let alone Ao Bing. Even if a Daluo who can reverse time and space came, it would be difficult to sort out all the sins and evils.

Fortunately, all this has nothing to do with Ao Bing - because he is not here to judge good and evil.

He is here to kill people.

As for whether the person killed was good or evil, it has nothing to do with Ao Bing.

All he had to do was send those damned living dead back to the underworld.

As for the soul-consumable system dominated by these living dead, once all of these living dead are killed, the system will lose its support and will naturally collapse.

To put it bluntly, if there were no support from the princes and nobles in the human world, no matter how powerful the immortals and gods were, they would not dare to produce babies on a large scale and in a systematic manner, and then extract their souls from them, as Ao Bing had seen.

Therefore, after entering the royal city, Ao Bing just moved slowly along the streets and alleys of the royal city.

The high walls and mansions where the kings and nobles live can block the spying of immortals and gods, but they cannot block the induction of the Yin-Yang Seal on Ao Bing's palm.

When Ao Bing immersed his mind into the Yin-Yang Seal, his vision turned into black and white - between black and white, there was only life and death.

Apart from this, any formation or defense is meaningless.

Whenever he arrived at a place where the mark heated up, Ao Bing would stop for a moment, carefully sensing the changes in the mark and observing the state of the soul in his "field of vision".

Finally, Ao Bing stopped in front of the palace gate.

Logically speaking, this mark would only appear in a hot state after Ao Bing saw a person or a soul, telling him that the person he saw was a person who was escaping from life and death. However, in front of the gate of the palace, Ao Bing did not even need to immerse his mind in the mark of yin and yang to switch the perspective of life and death, the mark on his palm was already emitting an incomparably intense heat.

Standing at the gate of the palace, you can look into the eyes of the statue.

Thus, this palace seemed to have turned into the lair of the demon god at this moment.

"The Taoist, if you want to see His Majesty, the king will hold a banquet to recruit talents in the middle of every month." After only two or three breaths, a soldier came with heavy steps and drove Ao Bing away.

"I have something important to do, but I can't wait that long."

"I want to go right now. I wonder if this gentleman can make it easier for me."

Looking at Ao Bing's appearance, the guard couldn't help but be stunned, and his attitude became a little gentler.

"I will go and report to the Taoist priest right away. Please wait for a moment." The guard saluted to Ao Bing and then retreated into the palace gate.

"Xiang Yi, are you crazy? How dare you disturb the king?"

At the palace gate, the other soldiers looked at the returning man in disbelief.

"Didn't you see what that Taoist priest looked like?" The soldier named Xiangyi sneered.

"My great uncle is also an immortal. He once told me that the more profound the cultivation of a cultivator, the more perfect his appearance will be."

"The more terrifying the body's power is, the more unique its appearance is."

"So for these practitioners, the more heavenly-looking a person is, the more they should not be offended - the more strange their appearance is, the more they should be respected."

"The man outside the door is a very handsome man. Have you ever seen another one?"

"If we don't report this and just let him go, what if the king finds out and blames us? Can we bear the consequences?" Xiang Yi said, "You two guard the palace gate for me. I will go report to the king first."

"It's worth it later. I'll buy you a drink."

At this time, in the Tiger Palace, many Tiger nobles also gathered.
